The Bridgewater Triangle Part 1

This week we are discussing a region where strange things happen. A place where things slip through the cracks. Where the land remembers everything that has happened there, and sometimes, it pushes back.​

They call it the Bridgewater Triangle. **CORRECTION: Ashley said Delaware was part of the Bridgewater Triangle. It's all in Southeastern Massachusetts. We are human. Sorry :)
